Could someone please tell me if this is possible. Creating a dos batch
file that opens and runs maxima is easy to do. What I was wondering if
I could create a dos batch file that opens maxima, has it execute a few
commands and then closes maxima? My thought is this: It seems like it
is quite difficult from the responses I've gathered to actually call
maxima from java, or c or any other programming language. But it is
easy to have that programming language create a dos batch file and run
it. If the batch file can give maxima a list of commands - one of which
writes maxima outuput to a file to be read later by the program, problem
solved. Someone please let me know if this idea is plausible or not.
Thanks.
